It's obvious that Aberdeen is researching larger companies but, in this case, that doesn't make the conclusions they arrive at less relevant to SMEs. Usually, the solutions are not realistic for SMEs or there are no solutions designed for SMEs. In the example of direct-filing this is not true.

TRG Direct is the only direct-filing service designed specifically for use by SME importers. The cost of entry is low, there are no long-term contracts, the transition can be phased in and support from licensed customs brokers is included in the service. To date the ROI, return on investment, for TRG Direct clients ranges from 261% to 1148%. It makes sense for SME importers to take Aberdeen's advice and "assess the feasibility of using a self-filing service."
